Yeah. Branching concepts are bit different. In Git, a branch simply means a pointer to a commit while in SVN it means a copy (shallow) of a trunk (with ancestry information).

I had to use SVN about a year ago on a project and I was not a fan of how commits were lost while merging into another branch.

(I recently convinced the project to be moved to Git, though. :P)
